Arnold has spent a significant portion of his education immersed in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. His early education included time in Switzerland and a year in Singapore.

As a DSE teacher, I had the honor of accompanying our students to Hong Kong on April 1st and 2nd, 2025, for the Chinese Language exam. During those two intense days—traveling, waiting and witnessing the exam process up close—I wasn’t just there as a teacher, but as someone who got a real taste of what it feels like to be a DSE candidate. I saw the nerves, the focus, the quiet determination, and I felt the weight of it all alongside our students.
